Tailored Solutions Backed by Real-World Expertice
Archie
At Juniper Equiland, metabolic horse care isn’t just something we read about — it’s personal. Our own horse, Archie, faced a devastating laminitis episode and full founder. It took over a year of collaboration with the University of Florida’s equine hospital, corrective shoeing, customized supplements, strict diet management, and carefully controlled exercise to bring him back to soundness. Today, he’s not just healthy — he’s back in the show ring, winning.
That journey taught us that metabolic horse care is a puzzle with many pieces: pasture management, nutrition, farriery, and exercise all have to align. And the pasture? That’s where safety begins.
We’re not claiming to be scientists — but we work closely with soil specialists, equine nutritionists, and agronomy experts to bring research-backed strategies to your pasture. We translate complex science into smart, practical, land-specific solutions for horse owners who care about doing things right.
What We Help With:
-
Grass Selection & Pasture Planning – Choosing low-NSC, horse-safe forages for Aiken County conditions.
-
Soil Health & Balance – Comprehensive soil testing and amendments designed to reduce stress on forage plants and lower sugar levels.

Seasonal Timing – Smart scheduling for mowing, overseeding, and chemical applications that reduce NSC fluctuations.
-
Stress & Weed Control – Using targeted herbicides and best practices to prevent stress-triggered sugar accumulation.
-
Turnout Strategies – Helping you manage rotational grazing, dry lots, and turnout windows to minimize metabolic risk.
We Understand
Because we’ve lived it. We know the stress and heartbreak of a horse in crisis — and we know what it takes to bring them back.
-
Because we combine real-world experience with science-backed strategy. Our partnerships with trusted experts and continuous learning ensure we bring proven solutions to your pasture.
-
Because every property — and every horse — is different. We don’t hand out generic advice. We build customized plans that fit your land, your horses, and your management style.
Your horse will always need careful management — grass will always have sugar. But the right pasture plan can make a big difference in keeping things safer and more predictable.
We’ve been there, and we get it.
Let’s build a plan that supports your horse, not just this season, but year after year.
